Well I left the hospital 28 hours after surgery. I was placed in a room with a 93 year old man, who was very ill. He was placed in there at 1015 pm and they made a ton of noise while fighting with him. For the next 7 hours, he continued to set off his breathing machine and kept me up. I did not sleep for even 5 minutes. The home health aid that was with him all night kept yelling at him and taking phone calls and speaking on her cell phone. The 2nd home health aid took over at 7 am and kept up with the same crap. Finally I told the nurse I was checking myself out. So I left. I wasn't getting any benefit being there anyway, since I wasn't allowed to walk, had to pee in a bed pan, and they were only giving me Tylenol. Oh then he crapped in his diaper and they changed it in the room and stunk the whole place out and I was gagging, and almost throwing up. Terrible experience. *side note: doctor was ok with discharging me since I peed, burped, flatulated, passed the leak test, and tolerated jello*

So Monday surgery,

Tuesday miserable

Wednesday extra miserable

Today, happy, no gas pains, and waking 30 minutes a few times a day. Only pain is in my lower left quadron, presumably where they took the stomach piece out. Oxys barely do anything for it. Whatever. :)

People are selfish :( my dad just recently had a knee replacement and he had one night nurse who was a moron! He was on hourly obs and every time the nurse came in they needed to check his charts which are all digital now so on a computer screen, check his iv lines and then go... Dad had the door closed but found that the door opening and closing all night was keeping him up so he half closed the curtain and left the door open so he was in a dark room and. The nurse could easily come in and out without touching anything or waking him... Well this guy would march in and throw open the curtains and then tap away at the touch screen computer and yell to the nurses station and then every time he left he would leave the curtain open!!!! Dad had to keep calling the nurses to close the curtain again... He ended up saying something... All the others seemed to be able to do their job efficiently without waking the whole ward... People just don't think :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
